      Remove virConnectPtr from CPU XML APIs · f430ddb6
      Daniel P. Berrange 提交于
      The virConnectPtr is no longer required for error reporting since
      that is recorded in a thread local. Remove use of virConnectPtr
      from all APIs in cpu_conf.{h,c} and update all callers to
      match

      Use closest CPU model when decoding from CPUID · 322707ba
      Jiri Denemark 提交于
      Current implementation of x86Decode() used for CPUID -> model+features
      translation does not always select the closest CPU model. When walking
      through all models from cpu_map.xml the function considers a new
      candidate as a better choice than a previously selected candidate only
      if the new one is a superset of the old one. In case the new candidate
      is closer to host CPU but lacks some feature comparing to the old
      candidate, the function does not choose well.
      
      This patch changes the algorithm so that the closest model is always
      selected. That is, the model which requires the lowest number of
      additional features to describe host CPU.

      Adds CPU selection infrastructure · 7286882c
      Jiri Denemark 提交于
      Each driver supporting CPU selection must fill in host CPU capabilities.
      When filling them, drivers for hypervisors running on the same node as
      libvirtd can use cpuNodeData() to obtain raw CPU data. Other drivers,
      such as VMware, need to implement their own way of getting such data.
      Raw data can be decoded into virCPUDefPtr using cpuDecode() function.
      
      When implementing virConnectCompareCPU(), a hypervisor driver can just
      call cpuCompareXML() function with host CPU capabilities.
      
      For each guest for which a driver supports selecting CPU models, it must
      set the appropriate feature in guest's capabilities:
      
          virCapabilitiesAddGuestFeature(guest, "cpuselection", 1, 0)
      
      Actions needed when a domain is being created depend on whether the
      hypervisor understands raw CPU data (currently CPUID for i686, x86_64
      architectures) or symbolic names has to be used.
      
      Typical use by hypervisors which prefer CPUID (such as VMware and Xen):
      
      - convert guest CPU configuration from domain's XML into a set of raw
        data structures each representing one of the feature policies:
      
          cpuEncode(conn, architecture, guest_cpu_config,
                    &forced_data, &required_data, &optional_data,
                    &disabled_data, &forbidden_data)
      
      - create a mask or whatever the hypervisor expects to see and pass it
        to the hypervisor
      
      Typical use by hypervisors with symbolic model names (such as QEMU):
      
      - get raw CPU data for a computed guest CPU:
      
          cpuGuestData(conn, host_cpu, guest_cpu_config, &data)
      
      - decode raw data into virCPUDefPtr with a possible restriction on
        allowed model names:
      
          cpuDecode(conn, guest, data, n_allowed_models, allowed_models)
      
      - pass guest->model and guest->features to the hypervisor
